Hey guys, finally decided to get around to making the new boxing general. Hopefully this one sticks around for a while. Been sick for a while and my left shoulder injury flared up again (some kind of nerve injury, too poor to go to the doctor about it).
Here's the basic info pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/mZhSFCx9
As with the last threat, any questions you've got, I'll answer. Any requests for videos, I'll try and oblige.
Myself:
1 - I've been boxing for about a year now. I started last year because I screwed up my shoulder and was afraid of hurting it doing Aikido. I've wanted to box since I was 18 but lacked the courage go to a gym. I have a friend who went and I decided to tag along.
2 - The gym I go to is apparently a good one. The owner is a former boxer who has guided quite a few prospects to state golden gloves over his 30+ year career as a coach. He was recently joined by an assistant coach who has been boxing since he was 7 and, while he never had a pro fight, he spent a lot of time criss-crossing northern VA going to gyms and wrecking top prospects in sparring matches.
3 - Since I'm older, have a day job, and know my limitations, I know that I'm never going to make it big as a competitor and instead have devoted a lot of time to learning the technical and mental aspects of the game so I can coach.
4 - With that in mind, I'm well aware that I'm not the most knowledgeable person on the sport and still have a LOT to learn, so anything and everything I say is going to come with the addendum of "but I'm still learning, so I might be wrong."

How do I actually get into boxing? I have the bags and I can do the punches. Should I go to the gym and start working out there?
>>

Have you been taught before or did you look in manuals/online/on videos and try and mimic what you saw? It's generally recommended that you don't try and learn without a coach of some kind, as you're going to have some major issues with your form whether you realize it or not. Boxing is a game of inches, so every little movement and mis-movement counts.
Find a gym in your area. If you're in the United States, USA Boxing is the national sanctioning body for Amateur boxing and they keep an updated registry of certified coaches and their gyms, so you should start there. Beyond that, typing "boxing gym *city/zipcode*" will probably find you any schools in the area.

I got the basic fundamentals from my father. I wanna go to the gym but I'm too self-conscious to go because I'm a skinny-fat 5'11" with a little bit of muscle definition. Man /fit/ fucked up my basic physiology of gym life.

>John Felix Anthony Cena (/ˈsiːnə/; born April 23, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, rapper, actor and reality television show host signed to WWE. Cena has been credited by WWE as the public face of that organization,[8] and has served as its franchise player since 2005.[9]
As you can see he doesn't have any military training you fucking retard

I think Rock had a pretty good sharpshooter. Edge had a crap sharpshooter, though technically it really wasn't a sharpshooter. Benoit's sharpshooter was 10x better though, probably as good as Hart's.
Everything else seems about right, though. In all fairness to Rock, his sophmoric insults were typically truthful jabs, just that he'd rather call someone a candy ass as opposed to a faggot.
But then again, Austin didn't need catchphrases, really. He'd throw a few in there just to be an annoying prick but Austin really just told it how it was.
Anyway, Rock sucks.

I think most of you guys are missing the common denominator here. We must remember that pic related was a part of that failure called TNA for most of his career. TNA has rarely ever in it's entire history broken past the 2.0 rating. One can probably count the amount of times it has on one hand. TNA now gets maybe 300k viewership if it's lucky.
Then you look at Raw and Smackdown in this year. Viewership keeps dwindling and what do you know? This man has been in WWE now for this year so far. Isn't it a little strange how there is a common denominator here? Isn't it strange how viewership for WWE is hitting all time lows and someone has now been a WWE guy since the beginning of this year?
Coincidence? I think not.

You're argument is that TNA used to draw a 2.0, and now that Styles left, it draws MAYBE 300,000 viewers, and therefore Styles is a ratings killer?
This is some primo troll logic. Nice job.

Smackdown doesn't progress storylines in a meaningful way though. It's basically what Superstars should be.

How did such a technically proficient wrestler like Owen botch a move this bad?
Is this the most significant botch in history? Considering Austin is widely considered the GOAT.

In terms of lost money it's got to be number one. Austins best year was 14 million, that botch cost him at least 6 plus years.

Wrestling is a crapshoot, you can take measures to do things as safely as possible, but sometimes Kevin Nash blows his quads walking across the ring.

>Nia Jax defeated Bayley and dominated the match. Crowd died for this one. Bayley hit a hurricanrana off the apron to get the crowd back into the match. Nia missed a charge in the corner and got the ring post, then locked in the guillotine choke. Nia lifted her up for a suplex, but Bayley reversed and appeared to blow her knee out. Not a legit injury, as Nia crushed her in the corner & worked over her leg. Nia destroyed Bayley and pinned her. This was a long match that just didn't work with the crowd. Bayley sold that she couldn't put any weight on her leg and was helped to the back
So Bayley is 100% going to the main roster within a month or so. Nia is being set up to face Asuka. Doesn't look like Bayley is getting a rematch.
